Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. The last month in Australia has been phenomenal! The ecology, flora and fauna are all entirely new to me, and I'm endlessly learning new things on my travels. Since then I've been to Fraser Island, Kingaroy and the Bunya mountains with Mum and Wayne (her friend). The Bunya's were my first taste of a rainforest and quite incredible. Since then I've been working my way north, travell...

It's been a month since my last post, mainly due to the heavy workload I'm currently coping with. Things on Skomer are still going very well. And, with the help of the other staff and volunteers, I'm managing to keep on top of all my work. My first full day off. Birthday Sunrise on Skomer. Tiny hand caught baby rabbit. It also...

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Monday, 10 February 2014. This weekend was typically busy and involved a lot of travelling. After a busy day on Friday, I packed the car with 4 boxes full of uni stuff (I'm starting to move out), and then headed over to Chris' in Ormskirk. We spent the night there and most of Saturday too. I spent the morning sorting out all my ringing details for my C permit application, not an easy task! I just thought it w...

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder: 3 month round up & future plans
http://rgreengingernutbirder.blogspot.com/2014/12/3-month-round-up-future-plans.html
Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Sunday, 7 December 2014. 3 month round up and future plans. I can't really believe it's been over 3 months since I last updated my blog. This hasn't been through a lack of interesting things to post, but more through a lack of time to post about the interesting things I've been doing. I've only spent a handful of days at home since leaving Skomer. Swallow roost - juvenile. Juvenile Female Wheatear at CES -.

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Monday, 23 December 2013. Apologies and Merry Christmas! First of all, apologies for the lack of posting in the last couple of weeks. I've had several module deadlines, dissertation work, Christmas shopping, Christmas parties etc etc, allowing little time to go birding or do interesting things to blog about. Also, one of my sisters has got engaged and I've found out I'm going to be an aunty! It's no good teac...

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Wednesday, 27 November 2013. 23rd - 24th - Slightly disappointing weekend with some nice surprises. So the plan for last weekend was to have a ringing session on both Saturday and Sunday morning, with a lamping session on Saturday night also. As per usual though, plans change. I have to say my ringing career so far has really tested my ability to be flexible! Crazy cloud formations - not vapour trails! Sunday...

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. I've also had a few brilliant experiences already. Today I managed to touch the wing tip of a fulmar as it flew past me at the top of a cliff. I managed to get a couple of photos of these majestic birds, but this doesn't really show how close they were getting. I've also met, and made friends with, some awesome people and so I'm confident it's going to be a good summer! I'm now on th...
